There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
GREAT PRICE for Altimax RT 43 at Tire Rack!

The RT43 was re-designed about 6 mos. ago and is now the RT45 , which has slightly better Ratings than the 43. .... I'm sure General has stopped production so Tire Rack is clearing them out..... Mike :thumbup:

This was the 215/60-15 size .... they also have the 225/60-15 for $ 5.00 more ..... Mike :thumbup:
Mike, all things considered, would you recommend the RT-43 or the Vredestein Q for the RT's back tire?

Well the Quatrac has slightly better ratings ..... so price could be the deciding factor .... I think Tire Rack may still have some from their closeout sale ..... I didn't see your post until today .... :thumbup:Mike ....I just checked Tire Rack and they still had the 215 & 225 size on closeout ...

Which one gives the most accurate speedometer reading, do you know?
From what I can tell, the Quatrac has better wet weather performance, but the RT-43 gives a longer life. Is that about right?

Either size is waaaaaaay better than KENDA's ..... Tire mileage varies per driver and the general ROAD surface compounds for where the Spyder spends most of it's life ..... In general Auto tires give about 15,000 mi. more ( front tire mileage ) than any Kenda's ( if both have good front alignment .... The rears can get almost 30,000 mi. more from an Auto tire than any Kenda.... The Hankook Optimo can get 40 to 50,000 more but wet traction is poor .... good luck .... Mike ....:thumbup:..... Considering the current SALE price for the RT43 it's a no-brainer, get one .....
Just checked and both the general 43 & 45 are out of stock as well as the vredestein in the 215/60-15.
